So, I have this idea....
of using a Track-T to build an autocross and track car. I want somethign different and this could be it.
For the drivetrain, I'd probably use a Ford 2.3 Duratec motor and the 5 speed transmission from a ranger. If I found a wrecked 2.3 Focus, I cold use the engine harness and computer from that and the cosworth stage 2 or stage 3 package to give it 200-250 HP.
I'd probably put 15x7" or 16x7" wheels on all 4 corners with some R compound tires. There seem to be a lot of race tires available in 205/50-15 and 225/50-16.
I have to look into this more to see what kind of suspension setup it has, but it sounds like it could be a fun car. Has anyone here tried anything like this before?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
